I'd like to say that I think Blood Pigggy's rant is 100% true and points out nicely this most contemptible trait of humanity.
If you don't believe it's true go to any art gallery and eavesdrop on some chat.

It's so great to see somebody as cynical and hateful as I!

Although, I do actually think SS2 and DE are great games <_<

Pay attention to what has been said, you scum!

Blood Pigggy, I have nothing to add and I agree completely. Well written arguments!

btw: Just yesterday, I finally managed to buy thief 1 (with thief collection. Thief 2 and SS2 are propably my most favorite games). I instantly feeled this warm rush of happiness when I played it, I instalty felt like I was in home. This is what games should be about, and I just don't feel it anymore with most of new games. It might sound like Im a stuck oldie who cannot tolerate new games.. so fine, maybe I am, but that is my opinion.

The Thief series is actually a good example of using the series' hype to good effect. I thought Deadly Shadows was a pretty good installment in the series.

Though I do think the games were much better a long time ago, I don't see a lack of good games out at the moment. Especially with the orange box coming out... I think it's great. Still, that's just one genre, not really suited for all gamers.

So I don't think that PC is dying, but it's just not like how it used to be. I see a lot of people buying 360's, rather than going out and getting computers, and I wonder why. I know the gamepad is amazing, but the gamepads work on PC. Well I guess I am really asking why, just because it doesn't seem like there is a good bunch of games coming out anymore, like how it may have been before: looking forward to several different publishers, in different genres.

Oh well, I'll just stick to half life, and the NES.

Deadly Shadows was better than ok, but it just didn't have the final "it" than the previous ones. It had the same trend as what oblivion was to morrowind: simplified, stripped and easier to adapt. I don't want to go any further in this topic, it's getting really old.

What!? :blink: There's MORE than just Deadly Shadows??? (I have it for xbox)

[Blood-Pigggy]

Um, yes, there is, and the other games are much better.

Thief: The Dark Project was released in '98 and its sequel Thief 2: The Metal Age was released in '99.
Thief: The Dark Project precedes Metal Gear Solid and they're really the original 3D stealth games.

consoles are much cheaper than a new gaming rig where you will spend over 500EUR on graphics card alone. so if someone already has working computer that can show him DVD movies, where he can do his (school)work, where he can browse internet, but can't play the latest kewl gamez then why not get a console instead a completelly new computer. it costs abotu 300 or 400 EUR. you wont get a gaming rig for that price.

wii is now even more popular than other consoles, because you can even convince the parents to buy it (all familly funy).

Because the required specs for running pc games increase exponentially. k:

I'm sure the statement will be cheerfully revised to first good 3d stealth game
